In the circumstances the cabinet that Peel proceeded to form inevitably bore a strong resemblance to the duke's cabinet of 1830. For himself he took both the Treasury and the Exchequer. Goulburn went to Peel's former post at the Home Office and the duke took over the Foreign Office. Other survivors of his old ministry who reappeared were Aberdeen, Ellenborough, Rosslyn, Herries, Hardinge and Sir George Murray. But there were a few new names.

[N Gash, Peel (London, 1976), pp. 165]
